Local reports claim the husband visited a witchdoctor after becoming wise to his wife's affair, and had the black magic man cast a dark charm on the adulterous pair in order to expose the woman's infidelity. Once their conundrum had become the talk of the town, Nairobi residents flocked to see the two stuck together, much to their chagrin.

After police were unable to help resolve the sticky situation, the husband finally agreed to undo the spell if the paramour paid him KSh20,000 (~$240). Upon payment a pastor was brought in to pray over the pair, and the hex was undone.
